RAM 1500 Oil Change
If you use conventional oil, RAM recommends your truck have an oil and filter changed every 3,000 – 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil should be changed every 7,000 – 10,000 miles.
Brake Services
Your RAM 1500 is designed with a brake system that delivers to each wheel giving the stopping power needed to safely stop your vehicle. RAM brake pads are designed with a composite material that includes a bonded blend of graphite and metals. As durable as they are, all brake pads wear over time due to the friction and heat created at each rotor as the brake pad applies the extreme pressure required to stop your truck.
Transmission Services
Though your RAM 1500 transmissions generally last between 130 and 180 thousand miles. Having our technicians service yours on a regular schedule will probably make it see many more miles.
Battery Sales and Service
RAM batteries should be replaced every 3 – 5 years. You should have your battery checked regularly to ensure your truck starts every time you want it to.

RAM 1500 Service Intervals
Ram sets the following service milestones. As with most manufacturers, RAM lists its service schedule in miles rather than how long you have owned your truck.
- 8,000 Miles - The first scheduled service for your RAM is its first oil and filter change. This is also a good time to have your other fluids checked and tires rotated.
- 20,000 Miles – This one will take a little longer. Your service technicians will check your brakes, tie rods, and front suspension. If needed, they can be adjusted or replaced should it be required.
- 30,000 Miles - Small jobs like cabin and engine air filter replacement and larger jobs like CV/Universal joint inspection should be done at this point. It’s also an ideal time to have the case and axles inspected, and your transfer case fluid checked.
- 60,000 Miles - Engine coolant, transmission fluid, filters, and brake fluid are checked and replaced if needed.
- 100,000 Miles – Along with repeating many of the services listed above, you should have your PVC joints and spark plugs and wires inspected and replaced.
- 120,000 Miles – The 60,000-mile service should be repeated and, if you use your RAM to haul or tow cargo, its transfer case should also be inspected, and the fluid changed.
- 150,000 Miles - Cabin and engine should be replaced. Your vehicle’s engine cabin and filters should be inspected at this point and replaced if needed.
